  • The base business continues to perform, and POC for Alzheimer's and gout is later this year. 
  • RBC remains a buyer, noting one of the few commercially validated platforms in Biotech and prior transactions in the space.
  • Citi analyst says APOLLO-B data reported thus far suggests Onpattro is approvable for ATTR-CM and could potentially improve upon Pfizer Inc's PFE tafamidis for cardiac outcomes.
  • Most importantly, data at HFSA might offer a glimpse into the potential of Onpattro's follow-up, Amvuttra, which has quarterly (potentially biannual) dosing and is likely to drive Alnylam's ATTR franchise. 
  • Earlier today, the European Commission approved Amvuttra (vutrisiran) for hereditary transthyretin-mediated (hATTR) amyloidosis in adult patients with stage 1 or stage 2 polyneuropathy.
  • Price Action: ALNY shares are down 2.32% at $210.98 on the last check Tuesday.
